Bilateral Orbitofrontal Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Frontal Lobe Epilepsy: A Case Report

This article reports a patient with frontal lobe epilepsy. We aimed to investigate whether bilateral orbitofrontal (OFC) low-frequency rTMS (LF-rTMS) is feasible and tolerable, safe, and potentially clinically effective in treating epileptic seizures. The patient ’s satisfaction with rTMS therapy was self-reported to be high, as rTMS helped in reducing the frequency of the focal attacks and completely abolished the preceding feeling of fear and panic. Therefore, bilateral OFC rTMS treatment can be well tolerated in patients with frontal epilepsy although t he findings of the present case report with regard to clinical efficacy warrant further investigation.Case Rep Neurol 2021;13:729 –737
